SWA’s First Research Project!

Submitted by admin on May 23, 2009 – 3:22 pmNo Comment

Sex Work Awareness has been named the United States country research partner for the Exploratory Research on Internet & Sexuality (EROTICS) research project, funded by the Association for Progressive Communications’ Women’s Networking Support Program (APC WNSP). Other research teams are from Brazil, Lebanon-Egypt, South Africa and India. SWA will evaluate the effects of content restriction on women’s ability to access information about sexuality using the Internet. We will use an online survey to give women the opportunity to tell us about their experiences using the Internet to get sex-related information. SWA hopes that you will help spread the word when the survey is live!
